eBay Challenge: Fastest German Cars For Less Than $15,000

If you want a cheap desk that you can build yourself, find a Swede. If you want the best risotto, you'd better hire an Italian. If you want fast luxury, look no further than any German automaker. But what's the fastest German car for under a $15k budget? Go forth, and answer.

Here are the rules:

• One entry per post.

• Cars must have a realistic selling price under $15,000.

• Cars must be operable/easily restored to running condition.

• Completed and sold listings can be included.

• You can add modifications, as long as it doesn't go over the total budget.

• Write a short reason why your car is the fastest German car for less than $15,000.

  Start here and find a car that was built for the Autobahn but doesn't mind the 405.
